Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a belt- or strap-tensioning device, better known as a “ratchet.”
  • Such a device is conventionally employed to tension straps, particularly on motor vehicle roof racks, luggage racks and in general terms, whenever it is required to tension a strap for the purpose of securing an item, a piece of luggage, or any kind of product.
  • Ringet systems are now in widespread use for tensioning straps.
  • they traditionally comprise a base rigidly connected to the end of a strap, the base comprising an axis on which is mounted a rotatable drum around which the other end of the strap, or even another strap, is intended to be wound.
  • This drum is rotated by means of a lever, known as a tensioning lever, that actuates the rotation of the drum in order to allow the other end of the strap to be wound thereupon, thereby tensioning the strap.
  • the axis of the drum is provided with toothed wheels intended to engage with holding pawls mounted on the base, and driving pawls mounted on the tensioning lever, in order respectively to keep the strap tensioned and to drive the drum when the tensioning lever is actuated.
  • the targeted objective of this invention is to simplify this unlocking operation.
  • the invention relates to a strap-tensioning device that includes: a base, to one of the ends of which is rigidly connected the end of a strap, and receiving at its other end, a rotatable drum receiving the end of the strap or of another strap, the drum being rigidly connected to two toothed wheels, capable of engaging with a holding pawl meshing by default in the toothed wheels under the action of a resilient return means, and able to slide in the base; a tensioning lever that is rotatably mounted by hinging onto the drum, and provided with a pawl for driving the toothed wheels, meshing by default in the toothed wheels under the action of a resilient return component, able to slide in the lever; and an unlocking lever, capable of releasing the toothed wheels from the respective engagement thereof with the holding pawl and with the driving pawl.
  • the unlocking lever is rotatably mounted, independently of the rotation of the tensioning lever, by hinging onto the drum.
  • the unlocking lever is rigidly connected to two parallel cams having the same profile and able to simultaneously engage with the holding pawl and with the driving pawl respectively so as to release the rotation of the drum.
  • the invention mainly comprises disassociating the tension and tension release functions, something that was not offered by prior art devices. Indeed, by disassociating these two functions, the tension release operation is made easier by a straightforward rotary movement exerted on an unlocking lever, independently of any action on the tensioning lever.
  • the end of the strap secured to the base is mounted on an axis for winding and storing the strap, which is rotated by means of a crank.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the tensioning device in accordance with the invention, in the closed position.
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 wherein the unlocking lever is in the operational unlocking position.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic perspective view showing in detail the cams associated with the unlocking lever.
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 1 in another embodiment of the invention, in the closed position.
  • FIG. 5 is a view of the device of FIG. 4 , in the tension position.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are respective views showing the storage of a strap in the device of FIG. 4 in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the device of FIGS. 4-7 in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 1 A perspective diagrammatic view of the inventive tensioning device has thus been shown in FIG. 1 .
  • it comprises a base 1 , one of the ends of which is rigidly connected to the end of a strap 3 .
  • the end of the strap 3 is sewn onto itself around an axis (not shown) of the base 1 .
  • the base 1 comprises two parallel lateral surfaces 18 , 19 rigidly connected to each other by a connection plate 20 , provided with a point 21 for the application of a resilient return member as mentioned in greater detail below.
  • the ends of the lateral parallel surfaces 18 , 19 of the base 1 , opposite to the point of fastening of the strap 3 define two flanges 22 , 23 , that are also parallel and provided with a central bore 24 , and each further defining a substantially semi-circular receiving cradle 25 that is external relative to the flanges.
  • the central bore 24 of the two flanges 22 , 23 is intended to receive, in the manner of a bearing, a rotatable drum 4 , on which the other end of the strap 3 , or even another strap, is intended to be wound.
  • This drum 4 comprises two half-axes 26 , 27 of substantially semi-circular transverse cross-section, separated from one another through the respective engagement thereof with two lateral toothed wheels 7 and 8 , each drilled with two orifices 28 , 29 of matching shape.
  • the two half-axes 26 , 27 are rigidly connected in translatory motion by two folded axes 30 , or possibly by caulking or snapping the ends of the half-axes.
  • the drum 4 is mounted free in rotation, and is therefore able to rotate in one direction or in the other.
  • the two lateral toothed wheels 7 and 8 are rigidly connected to the drum 4 , as will have been understood from the previous description.
  • the teeth of the wheels 7 are shaped so as to promote the rotation of the drum 4 in one direction and, conversely, to counter the rotation of the drum 4 in the other direction, through the engagement of the teeth with a holding pawl 9 , provided in the base 1 , and a driving pawl 10 , provided in a tension lever 5 , described in greater detail later.
  • the holding pawl 9 comprises a rigid blade, made of metal for example, whereof two lateral protuberances are each able to slide in a through aperture 11 which can be better seen in FIG. 5 or in FIG. 8 , and is provided in the lateral surfaces 18 , 19 of the base 1 .
  • the motion of the pawl 9 is purely translatory.
  • the pawl 9 is permanently subject to the action of a resilient return member, typically comprising a spring (not shown), that presses against the projection 21 issuing from the plate 20 connecting the lateral surfaces of the base 1 , and causing the pawl 9 to thrust against the teeth of the toothed wheels 7 .
  • the device includes as already stated a tensioning lever 5 , which is hinged onto the drum 4 .
  • This lever comprises a rigid structure comprising two parallel lateral surfaces 31 , 32 , rigidly connected to each other by means of a rear plate 33 , and able to receive a grip zone 34 which can be snapped on.
  • the ends of the lateral surfaces on the opposite side to the grip zone define two flanges 35 , 36 , that are also parallel, each being provided with a central bore 37 , whereof the internal diameter substantially matches the external diameter of the drum 4 .
  • the latter therefore constitutes the hinge pin of the tensioning lever.
  • This lever 5 comprises a driving pawl 10 , which like the holding pawl 9 , also comprises a metal, and therefore rigid, blade, provided with two lateral protuberances, each able to move in a through aperture 12 provided in the lateral surfaces 31 , 32 of the lever 5 .
  • the driving pawl 10 is subject to the action of a resilient return member, formed in the case in point by a spring (not shown), that presses against a projection 38 issuing from the rear plate 33 (see FIG. 8 ), in order to cause the driving pawl 9 to thrust permanently against the teeth of the toothed wheels 7 .
  • the two pawls are permanently engaged or, in other words, mesh with the teeth of the toothed wheels 7 because of the respective actions of the springs to which they are subject.
  • the pawls 9 , 10 counter the rotation of the drum 4 in one particular direction, and in the case in point, as is shown in the figures, in the clockwise direction.
  • the strap tensioning device also includes an unlocking lever 6 , described in greater detail below.
  • This unlocking lever 6 is also hinged onto the drum 4 .
  • the unlocking device 6 can be actuated completely independently of the driving pawl 5 .
  • This unlocking lever 6 comprises two lateral flanges 13 drilled at the centre thereof with a bore 39 , whereof the internal diameter substantially matches the external diameter of the drum 4 .
  • the two flanges 13 are rigidly connected to one another by a plate 40 , able to receive a grip zone 41 which can be snapped on.
  • each of the flanges 13 is extended by a cam-forming protuberance 14 , of gradually increasing width, the gradual crease in the width of the cams also being orientated in the trigonometric direction in FIG. 3 .
  • the cams 14 are intended to engage with the holding pawl 9 of the base 1 , and the driving pawl 10 of the tensioning lever 5 respectively.
  • the cams thrust the two pawls 9 , 10 , which slide in their respective apertures, releasing them from their engagement with the toothed wheels 7 .
  • the drum 4 is then once again free in rotation thereby unlocking the tension previously provided by the inventive tensioning device.
  • the unlocking lever 6 When it is wished once again to tension the strap or straps, the unlocking lever 6 has only to be towered towards the base 1 , as shown in FIGS. 1 , 4 to 6 , in order to eliminate the engagement of the cams 14 with the end of the holding and driving pawls, so that they re-engage with the toothed wheels 7 , and restrict the rotation of the drum 4 only in the direction of the tension.
  • the strap 3 is rigidly connected to the base 1 on a rotatable axis 15 , accommodated in the lateral surfaces 18 , 19 , that can be manually actuated by a crank 16 , hinged onto one of the ends of the axis. It is thus possible to store the strap 3 on this axis, as is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , and not on the axis providing the tension, in the case in point the drum 4 .
  • crank 16 may be locked against the base 1 when it is not in use, by inserting its free end into a through aperture 17 , provided on one of the lateral walls of the base 1 .
